Closing The Year 2015 with Awesome News

Well, this is a quick blog because at this moment, it's already new year in Indonesia and I really want to go to sleep :)

About an hour before I throw the 2015 calendar and replace it with the 2016 calendar, an email come to my inbox.

It was from Amazon confirming my site has been approved, and I made my first sale!

It's less than a buck because I sell some inspiring books as their affiliate :) My niche is in self-improvement, and books are one product that I can sell to my visitor.

However, it's not the amount that make me happy. It's the proof that all training (both from WA or from other members) really works! If you haven't got your first sale, trust me it works eventually, even if you are not in the promoting WA niche :)

Just keep going with your training and follow all the ambassadors. Some WA members really like to create useful training here.

This is really a good news to close the year 2015, and I will work harder and smarter to achieve my new year resolution for 2016.

Have a nice new year everyone!


Cheers,

Ferdinand

Thanks Ferdinand, best wishes for 2016! So it's you who is sending all those people over;)

((:I will embrase them warmly Ferdinand:))

Yes, please :)

Thanks for sharing the good news on New Year's Day, as a source of inspiration for all in the WA community!

May I ask how long did you start your site, or when did you post your affiliate products, before you saw this first sale? (I know conditions and variables for everyone's first sale is different, but I just wanted to find out your personal experience, if you don't mind sharing) :)

Hi Pam :) Thanks so much.

I've started my website since 3 months ago. I didn't post my affiliate products as soon as I launched my website, because I want to drive traffic first to my website. Also, I keep advertising as minimum as I can, because people hate ads.

You can try to check my website to see the design & layout if you want: iszerotohero.com

I try to balance post containing affiliate products and post with pure information. Some of the 'pure' type contain link to other post with affiliate products.

Also, I see more clicks to Amazon after I changed most of my product images to be clickable and linked to the Amazon.

Feel free to ask more or you can send me a PM. I'm not an expert but if you want to ask, I'll try to help as best as I can. :)

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Congrats! I know exactly what that first sale feels like as it was not long ago that I experienced the same.

Yes Erica :) It feels great. I also make a bit cent from Google Adsense, but sales commission from Amazon makes me more excited :)

Congratulations on your first sale. Happy New Year to you and much success to your future at WA.

Thanks School. You too :) Have a good New Year.

Congrats my friend. I haven't been around the community much as I want to focus on my site mainly, as you can see I am no longer an Ambassador.

It's great to see that you have made some good progress :)

1

Thanks Anthony :) That's OK. I even choose to let my second website for a temporary hiatus to focus more on the first website.

Sometimes we need to let go other aspect in order to make our focused aspect better. Once it is done, I will focus again on the second website and I have a good plan to launch a game website too :)

I will inform you when my game website has been launched, since I will certainly need your feedback and comment for gaming website.

Have a good new year my friend. You can do it!

1

Alright you know where to find me when the time comes I will PM you how my website is looking now. Still got a lot of work to do as well :)

1

You're very helpful Anthony :) Thanks and I'll help you too if you need something from your website. Even I still have a lot work to do now for current and upcoming websites :) Wish you success.
